The Vice President shall assist the President:
One of the biggest responsibilities of the club's Vice President is to help the President with any tasks they are not capable of handling or are not available for. Often the roles of President and Vice President in the robotics club are shifted to fit each person's best combination of responsibilities. This is imperative because it keeps all tasks moving smoothly and prevents opportunities and responsibilities from slipping through the cracks of the busy life of RSO leadership.

- Preside over all meetings and call all meetings to order

Coordinate all conferences

Ensure all officers are performing their duties as defined in this Constitution
